Last week, Jill Scott was spotted on the red carpet at the Hollywood Reporter’s ‘Power 100: Women in Entertainment’ breakfast wearing a beautifully sculpted braided updo. Scott is no stranger to versatile hairstyles—this year alone she’s sported five drastically different hairstyles!—so it was no surprise she remixed her ‘do. Nonetheless, we couldn’t help but to ooooh and ahhhh over her newly tressed style! Read More

“This is the simplest form of myself. I look in the mirror and it’s like, ‘Here, there you go. What’s up, girl?’ For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It’s an accessory. Tomorrow I may want a wig down to my butt and I’m gonna rock it, and the next day I may want a big Afro and I’m gonna rock that too…”
A divorce, broken engagement, split from her record label and the abrupt ending of her HBO series The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency were not enough to keep this “Golden” lady down. She also speaks on the recent upswing in her life. She has a new Lifetime TV movie in the works Steel Magnolias, an all-black adaptation of the 1989 film and noted play.
Check out photos from Steel Magnolias below, and check out the film on Lifetime on Oct. 7 at 9pm.

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf [2011 film release]
Jill Scott– Will be in the movie ” Why Did I Get Married 2″ as well as she is also in the first movie. Jill scott has some movies you will see here in this year another one is:
Famed R&B singer and actress Jill Scott (The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency) is set to headline the Lifetime Movie Network Original Movie Sins of the Mother, a touching story about the harsh realities of love, forgiveness and the closest of bonds between mother and daughter. Based on author Carleen Brice’s moving novel, Orange Mint and Honey, the film features Scott as reformed alcoholic Nona, Nicole Beharie (American Violet) as her daughter Shay and Mimi Rogers (The Door in the Floor) as Nona’s sponsor Lois. Sins of the Mother will premiere Sunday, February 21, 2010, at 8pm ET/5pm PT, on Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime’s sister network and the second highest rated women’s channel.
Also Jill is rumored to be in the Tyler Perry Film “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf”
Gabourey Sidibe is becoming a success over night with “Precious” she is also rumored to be in “The Big C” she will also be in:
A disenfranchised family. A neighborhood with it’s own laws. Who defines love, when a grievous neighborhood–becomes family.
A late and possibly a big entrant into the drama series races at the Emmys arrives on HBO on March 29th when the late Anthony Minghella’s (“The English Patient”) pilot for “The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” premieres. The series based on the best-selling novels by Alexander McCall Smith stars Grammy winner Jill Scott as Precious Ramotswe and “Dreamgirls'” Anika Noni Rose as her assistant Grace Makutsi. The pilot episode is Academy Award-winning director Anthony Minghella’s final film and a fitting tribute which should be rewarded with at least a directing nomination when the Emmy nominees are announced in July. He also co-wrote the episode with Oscar nominee Richard Curtis (“Four Weddings and a Funeral”).
The series is shot entirely on location in Botswana and looks very different from the majority of competitors for this year’s emmy awards. With HBO’s campaigning multiple emmy nominations seem very likely, it will be competing in the drama series categories and while the series race could be too crowded with “Lost,” “Mad Men,” “24,” “House,” “Dexter” and “Damages” among the favorites it still could surprise and make it in.
More possible are lead actress for Scott, where she could be head to head with “ER”‘s Angela Bassett to become the first African American lead actress Emmy winner in a drama series. Anika Noni Rose looks like a good bet for at least a supporting nomination as she has a good range on display, as well as an accent, so a win could be possible. Behind the scenes nominations should be plentiful as the series looks beautiful and writing is likely too as the dialogue is very entertaining, but also authentic.
Jill Scott and her fiancé, drummer Lil’ John Roberts, welcomed there first child into the world.
The couple had a son named Jett – who was born Monday at 4:20 p.m. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces.
Send your congrats to Jill Scott website…here
Also her show on HBO is the bomb you have to watch it, if you have HBO. The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency on HBO Sunday’s at 8pm
